As I write to you all from the breathtaking jungles of south
India, I ponder upon the great mysteries of life. Well not really however, I do
feel like I owe my loyal readers (if any) a new WOW word.
Courtesy of those who have a proclivity towards being overly
sarcastic, the word sardonic, a
word, which by nature sounds slightly negative, is an adjective that connotes,
“grimly mocking or cynical.” An example of this would be, Josh aimed to hide
his sardonic smile upon hearing the news of Ben’s misfortune, For context just
know this blog does not endorse the blog, “Ben the blabbering blogger.”
Now, eponymous of the title, this post is just a musing of
mine. This particular musing pertains to the intricacies of the English
language, specifically the abbreviation of words that occurs with the use of
apostrophes. For example, if I said, “ I will run to the store,” I could just
as easily say “I’ll run to the store.” However if I said the “The dog will run
to the store,” it would sound weird to say “the dog’ll run to the store.” In
theory, I’m not sure whether or not this makes sense but apparently a dog is
running to the store so everything is relative. Anyway that was my musing of
the summer holiday so far. As you can see I am very deep in thought.
Why was the dog running to the store?
